- 59percentmore 2mo agoI used to think so, too, but the Steam/Valve stuff from the past few years has opened my eyes to the usefulness of arbitration as a leveler (specifically, the parts of agreements that force big companies to pay all of the costs and fees). But definitely outlaw small clause carve-outs.
- qarl2 2mo ago> Zuckerberg knows that threatening Wynn-Williams for standing in wooden silence on a stage makes him look like history's most guillotineable billionaire.
- rubyfan 2mo agoThis could be a prompt for cards against humanity… Zuckerberg’s Increasingly Bizarre _____
- conartist6 2mo agoOK it took a while to get to the point, but Zuck claiming that Wynn-Williams sitting silently on stage during a panel constitutes "disparagement" is farcical if not straight-up evil
- snek_case 2mo agoIt looks weirdly petty that they are going after her. Everyone knows that Meta is a shitty place to work. There have already been countless articles. Their reputation as an employer is almost Amazon-tier. Is there much point in trying to silence one person?
- conartist6 2mo agoNo, there's really not. That's why it's self-evident to me that their goal is to send a message to any other employee thinking about following her lead
- samrus 2mo agoIn my opinion, most iltra rivh get to where they are by being narcissictic sociopaths. But zuckerberg really takes the cake. Remember when he thought a makeover and singing listens would be enough to make him president? Mans actually deranged. Brilliant, but actually crazy
- goosejuice 2mo agoHow is he brilliant?
- karim79 2mo agoIn the same way as Pablo Escobar was "brilliant" I suppose. By being financially successful while destroying countless lives.
- selectively 2mo agoEscobar likely did less societal harm than Zuck.
- bryanrasmussen 2mo agoI don't know if I would say he was brilliant, that seems a bit of an overshoot, but I will say the following on his behalf in order to not suggest he is just a lucky idiot. Lots of people were in that space trying to guess what was going to be the way to go, he did, that can of course be that he guessed with luck. But if someone guesses big with luck maybe it is just as reasonable to say that they had at least some clever insights. He has multiple times bought his way out of the things that would threaten him. That is of course the game, it doesn't make him brilliant but it does make him reasonably competent at that part of his business. There are lots of people that are described as neurodivergent who do not understand social interaction, or are very bad at it, let us, for the sake of argument, say that Zuckerberg is one of these (it is possible that my face looks like I am sucking on a lemon as I type this), but most of these people do not bother to try to model various ways that the people do socially interact do it, and build successful businesses on top of a model that may perhaps be flawed but does have some predictive/manipulative power.
- threethirtytwo 2mo agoDoesn’t seem bizarre to me. Seems reasonable for a man in his position. Reasonable but evil.
